Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
P. Edwards 1976Stibams quadricuspis is more robust than S. obtusilobus; the hypocone is moderately-to well-developed on the upper molars, unlike the weakly developed hypocones on the upper molars of s:obtusilobus. The lingual apex of the triangular upper molars is more blunt than in S. obtusilobus.
